Tasting Notes
Experience the fresh and lively character of our beloved meritage white blend. It begins with inviting aromas of citrus zest, orange blossom, honeysuckle, and cantaloupe. The medium-bodied palate is plush and filled with vibrant fruit flavors, complemented by a touch of minerality. The finish delights with a harmonious blend of pear, lemon, and melon, creating a satisfying and refreshing taste.
Winemaker Notes
Winemaker Notes
The year started out with ample rainfall which kept the soils moist and cool into spring. Summer was marked by warm, even daytime temperatures with few extreme heat spikes. The opportune weather conditions continued into late summer and fall. The harvest was of average volume, if not slightly below average and the fruit quality was exceptional; allowing us to craft wines with fresh acidity, texture, structure and finesse. Each lot was handpicked, crushed and pressed, then racked, blended and aged 11 months.

Bright tangerine citrus and pear flavors are well-balanced by the palate’s creamy notes and elegant minerality. Honey, orange zest and lemon curd flavors mingle in the zesty and expansive finish.
